A three-run sixth inning propelled the Miners to a 4-1 matinee win over the Champions at Skylands Stadium. After 3B Jay Baum hit a one-out double, DH Juan Duran (pictured) hit a two-run home run that turned a 1-0 lead into 3-0. CF Alexi Colon added a solo homer later in the frame, and the Miners led by four. Earlier in the day, 2B Rubi Silva opened the scoring with an RBI groundout in the first inning.

Baum and Duran finished the game with two hits apiece for the Miners. RHP Kody Kerski struck out seven in seven innings to earn the win, and RHP El-Hajj Muhammad shut the door in the ninth for the save.

Ottawa 2B Steve Nyisztor hit a solo home run in the loss.
